Burglar hiding in vent caught A cat burglar who thought that by sitting in the ventilation system of a building, waiting till everyone leaves, he would not get caught, was mistaken.

Sersant Mark Petersen en adjudant-offisier Marius Hendriks van Cloetesville SAPD.

Polisie besorg mikrogolf terug Sersant Mark Petersen en adjudant-offisier Marius Hendriks van Cloetesville SAPD het ’n verdagte persoon vroeër in Julie-maand in Madeliefiestraat, Cloetesville voorgekeer.

Toe hulle die vuilgoeddrom wat hy gestoot het, ondersoek, kry hulle ’n mikrogolfoond daarin.

Na verdere ondersoek het hulle agtergekom dat die mikrogolfoond in ’n huisinbraak in Cloetesville gesteel is.

Die beamptes se oplettendheid het daartoe bygedra dat die mikrogolfoond teruggevind is, en die eienaar het die polisiebeamptes bedank.

Friday morning at around 06:00 the alarm at Timbercity, in Planken Street, Plankenbrug, went off.

Store owner Stuart Oliver says that the burglar opened the roofing of the store, and somehow gained access.

“He climbed through the vent and then used his hands, to hang down, and manoeuvre to the beams.

“When he eventually reached the floor he triggered the alarm, and fled.”

Oliver says that he was in Johannesburg at the time and arrived at his store at around 12:00.

By that time ADT Security and personnel searched all over for the burglar, but could not find him.

They searched on the roof, around the building, but no sign.

“When I had a look at the video footage from the cameras I installed, I could see him clearly walking around.”

He says that finally they noticed something in the vent.

“My manager managed to climb into the ceiling and found the guy sitting in a corner, covered in pink roofing isolation.

“When he saw the manager he fled again, jumped off the roof and ran out.

But not before long, he was caught by the personnel and locked up in the toilet.”

Oliver says that they waited for about 35 minutes for the police to arrive.

The burglar, who is apparently known to the manager, disconnected the amplifier, stole memory sticks out of the computers, stole and then wore the owner’s jacket, and took the loose change out of the store’s cash register.

A cat burglar who thought he was clever, got locked up in the toilet of the store he tried to rob.

Provincial police to consult communities on crime prevention The Policing needs and priorities consultation process (PNP) will start on 26 July in Worcester during which all communities in the Western Cape will be consulted to determine specific policing needs. Stellenbosch will be visited on 5 August.

Consultations will continue until 9 December through 25 public meetings across the province – one for every police cluster.

The aim of these meetings is to identify the Policing Needs and Priorities (PNPs) of each community, to ensure that the police remain responsive to communities.

According to Dan Plato, Western Cape Minister of Community Safety, they do not believe in a one size fits all approach and the findings from the PNP meetings show that different types of resources are needed in different communities.

“During these meetings, communities will have the opportunity to meet with me and the officials from the Department of Community Safety.

“They can also meet their community policing forum (CPF) and Cluster CPF chairpersons, and most importantly they must identify, discuss and confirm the specific needs and priorities of their communities,” Plato said.

The key objectives of the PNP project are: V To identify the policing needs and priorities in the Western Cape from a community perspective; V To influence the allocation and deployment of policing and safety resources in line with the safety needs identified; and V To guide and influence the formulation of policing priorities at provincial and national level in respect of identified provincial policing needs and priorities.

“The PNP consultation process will culminate in the Policing Needs and Priorities 2014/15 Report to be presented to my office for endorsement and consideration of the standing committee on community

safety.

“The standing committee may choose to provide the South African Police Services (SAPS) Provincial Commissioner an opportunity to respond to safety issues raised in the report before submitting it to the national Minister of Police and the MINMEC (Minister and Members of the Executive Council) to be incorporated in the SAPS Annual Performance Plan (APP),” Plato said.

South Africa’s Constitution is clear (Section 206(1)) that the cabinet minister responsible for policing must determine the national policing policy after consulting the provincial governments and taking into account the policing needs and priorities of the provinces, as determined by the provincial executives.

By compiling this report through a rigorous public participation process the department is delivering on its constitutional mandate.

Government’s response to migration and crime patterns tends to be too slow, due to a rigid budgetary process which is not aligned to the release of crime statistic time-lines, and the level of dependency on annual crime statistics, which is a lagging reactive indicator, needs to be reduced in order to effectively address crime. The bottom line is that more regular crime statistics are needed.

The Western Cape Government has embarked on the PNP process aimed at seeking additional sources of information about our communities’ safety needs.

In order to maximise the impact of the resources allocated to increasing safety, it remains of critical importance that those limited resources are deployed in the areas where they are most needed and when they are most needed.

“The Western Cape Government’s approach also facilitates a departure from the current onesize-fits-all approach to policing, allowing for different focus areas and needs within communities, many of which are based on the lasting ef-

fects of the racial segregation policies of the past.

“The current system of resource allocation, which is based on uniformity guided by a single set of rules and crime statistics, are systemically weak and increasingly unable to address the specific needs existing within communities,” Plato said.

In 2013/14, the PNP consultation process reached all 25 police clusters and attracted more than 2 200 key stakeholders and decision makers in the field of safety and security in the province.

These included: SAPS, CPFs, neighbourhood watches, national and provincial government departments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), faith-based organisations, business organisations, local ward councillors, victim support room members, youth formations, municipal managers and members of the public.

“For 2014/15 we wish to repeat and improve on the previous year’s success through holistic engagements to help identify the causes, motivators and opportunities for crimes per police precinct and cluster in the province.

“The department recognises that crime is a multifaceted and complex phenomenon. Different communities have different safety concerns and needs. Interventions to create safe environments and communities in which crime is less likely to occur need to take the differences into account.

Meaningful partnerships are at the heart of the Department of Community Safety’s Whole-of-Society approach to increase safety in our province.

It is important that all communities use the consultation process as an opportunity to have their say on their safety concerns.

Through the PNP, the Western Cape Government is committed to working Better Together in the fight against crime, ” Plato explained the reasons behind the project.

Stellenbosch ladies race on Women’s Day Runners taking on the much anticipated Totalsports Ladies Race in Johannesburg and Stellenbosch on Saturday 09 August can feel proud knowing that their entry contributes towards PinkDrive, a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) that is committed to promoting breast cancer awareness and providing breast health education and services to men and women across South Africa.

“We are truly grateful to be the beneficiary of the Ladies’ Race Johannesburg and Stellenbosch for the third year running,” says Noelene Kotschan, founder and CEO of PinkDrive. “The streets were abuzz with excitement at the 2013 events. Although the front ladies said that the competition was tough, it is still much easier than someone being diagnosed with breast cancer. Our main message that we’d like to get across is that early detection of breast cancer saves lives, and that cancer is a word and not a sentence.

It is vitally important that we continue to reach as many South African women (and men), by taking health services to the public. Being part of the race brings us closer to our goal”.

“Our medical team will be on hand at both events,” continues Kotschan.

“We will be offering free clinical breast examinations and answer any concerns that the participants and their families may have. We encourage participants to visit our ‘pink shop 4 cancer’ stand to pimp themselves pink. In Stellenbosch we will also have our own Blikkiesdorp ‘proudly pink and blue’ minstrels joining us”.

Race details for the Stellenbosch event are as follows: Date: Saturday 09 August 2014 Venue:Start ~ Plein Street / Finish ~ Coetzenburg Stadium Distance and cost: 5 km / R68,40 (temporary licence not necessary), 10 km / R129,40 (temporary licence & compulsory disposable timing chip included), 10 km / R95,19 (club runners / includes compulsory disposable timing chip). The start for each race is at 08:00 Number Collection: Saturday, 02 August between 10:00 – 17:00 at Kenridge Primary School (Durbanville), Monday, 04 August between 12:00 – 18:00 at The River Club (Observatory) and Wednesday 06 August between 13:00 – 19:00 at The Stellenbosch Town Hall.

What to ask your mechanic the next time your car needs a service Car issues, expensive repairs and ‘those mechanics that ripped me off’, are always hot conversation starters among vehicle owners.

So what should you be doing to ensure your vehicle repairs or regular services become hasslefree?

Les Mc Master, chairman of the Motor Industry Workshop Association (MIWA), says your best line of defence is to ask the right questions from the get go.

“By asking the right questions and showing you have an idea of what should be done to your vehicle, you are setting the tone for a frank conversation with your mechanic and getting a good preservice idea of the state of your vehicle,” he says.

While there are many questions you could ask your mechanic, Mc Master recommends starting with these basics: ) “Firstly, ask about your cam belt. Does the vehicle have a cam belt and if so, when was it last changed?

The cam belt synchronises the rotation of the crankshaft and the

camshaft(s) so that the engine’s valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder’s intake and exhaust strokes. The lifespan of cam belts vary depending on the manufacturer. It is best to refer to your vehicle handbook for a guide on when the cam belt should be changed. “ ) “Next, ask about the condition of your brake pads and at what limit they should be changed. Brake pads should be replaced at 70% of total ware to ensure the safety of the driver.

It’s also important that your mechanic inspects the brake discs so ensure you suggest that this is done.” ) The third question is: Whether your brake fluid and radiator coolant need to be changed. “It’s also important to ask how often this should be done and whether it was done at your last service.” ) Personal safety is obviously a concern for most drivers, so asking about the state of the airbags, seatbelts and ABS is also a must. “A light appearing on your dashboard is not a guarantee that

Spier Arts Academy is recruiting The Spier Arts Academy, which offers a threeyear employment-based training in professional mosaic and ceramics specialisation, has started a recruitment drive for Cape Town’s aspiring artisans.

Open Days will be hosted at the academy’s historic headquarters at Union House in Cape Town on 1 and 2 August. The mosaic studio is headed up by Irene Rizzin, a former Masters graduate from the renowned Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli in Italy, while the ceramic studio is run by Karen Kotze, a ceramic artist whose work is included in collections across South Africa.

Additionally, both courses include tuition in drawing, art history, applied theory and business skills.

Apprentices are also exposed to the local art and culture scene, via excursions to art studios, galleries, museums and the art library.

The ultimate excursion takes the form of a cultural tour of Europe - awarded to third year apprentices who perform consistently well.

Under the direction of Yellowwoods Art, the academy has produced architectural-scale mosaic art works to critical acclaim.

The academy has won two BASA (Business and Arts South Africa) Awards and the BAMM (British Association for Modern Mosaic) Award in the UK. The Open days are on Friday 1 August from 10:00 to 17:00, and on Saturday 2 August between 10:00 and 14:00.

the ABS is working correctly.

“ABS (Anti-lock braking system) allows the wheels on your vehicle to maintain traction with the road surface, preventing the wheels from locking up and avoiding uncontrolled skidding.

“Your mechanic will be able to check that the system is working correctly and the airbags are programmed to deploy in the event of a collision.” ) Ask the mechanic to contact you with a quote, should he find any other work that needs to be done.

“The quote should include an approximate cost for the parts and labour “Remember that preventative maintenance through early detection can prove more cost effective in the long term.”

“Don’t be afraid to ask questions and expect comprehensive answers from your mechanic.

“Make sure that your mechanic is accredited with an industry body such as MIWA to ensure you have access to recourse should the service you receive not be up to scratch.”

Good is not enough In my work I often meet clients in coffee shops and because I often advise business owners on managing their businesses, I am very alert to the quality of service rendered by businesses.

Each business owner should ensure that they know what good service means to their clients. From certain businesses clients expect speedy delivery, like when a builder orders sand or bricks. From a motor dealer clients expect, among others, excellent after sales service. If the service is lacking, no matter whether you sell products or services, customers look for alternative suppliers.

Let’s look at the coffee shop example, seeing that they sell products accompanied by service delivery.

What do I look for in a coffee shop?

Being a coffee shop, one will expect that quality coffee is a given. But what goes with the coffee?

Let us first look at why people visit coffee shops? Sometimes it’s a teatime meeting place for ladies. Business people meet clients there because nowadays many have offices at home and need such a meeting

place. I see many of them regularly because I am one of them.

People working from home may find that a home office becomes a lonely place. So they take their laptops and go work in a coffee shop.

I, for instance, like to write these weekly articles in a coffee shop.

So what is important besides the coffee?

Atmosphere, made up of a combination of the interior, background music, the location, etc. and most important - the service rendered by waiters. Are they friendly and make you feel welcome and do they know the menu by heart?

And then – can I easily access the wi-fi network with my computer? In two coffee shops the past month I could not access the Internet because the coffee shop’s wi-fi was not up to standard. This limits the work I can do there, as well as the quality of service I can render to my client.

So, what aspects of service are important to your clients when they do business with you? Do you know and do you exceed their expectations? (David Malherbe is a business and career consultant and lives in Wellington.)
